One of the defining crises of midlife is refusing to admit the truth to ourselves that we’re getting older.”
Confronting the moments when we think, act, respond, and make decisions as if God were not real and present in our lives.
In a moment of crisis, some unlikely but life-changing relationships can be forged.
God brings stability and support when we feel like we’re spinning out of control.
Life is unquestionably a roller coaster reaching great heights and then sudden, dizzying falls. Without convictions to anchor and stabilize us, we can begin losing faith in God and become unsteady.
Guilt is overwhelming, but God can free us from it. We must learn how to deal with guilt biblically so that we don’t get overwhelmed by the stress, anxiety, and emotionalism it causes.
Fearless people have tenacity, which is the ability to keep fighting for something, and to believe you can win.
There are many things that aim to undermine our faith: our guilt, different diagnoses, depression, anxiety, fear, and various circumstances. God wants to build our faith and confidence to be so strong it can handle anything thrown our way.
Faith is not a destination. We don’t arrive. Faith is a journey, and if done correctly each day, the journey will be fascinating.
